Not necessarily dangerous, but password files should not be globally
readable as a general rule. Who owns the password file and directory in
which the file resides?
$ ls -ld /path_to/password/directory; ls -l \
/path_to/password/directory/password_file
What user/group is apache running as? Does the apache user and/or group
have read access to the password file?
